I suggest that contemporary Pagan entheogen users prefer a “shamanic” model to a “clerical” model for their place in the community, and, as Robert Brown comments, describe themselves as more oriented to “wildness” rather than to human society. This group is perhaps more likely to read ethnographic and anthropological literature than the fantasy novels and historic reconstructions that seem to inform much of North American Neopaganism. These contempoary Pagans using traditional entheogens are cautious about discussing them. Too many of these substances have been publicized as “legal highs”, and in a society which is accustomed to seeing “drugs” as neat little pills and capsules, the dangerous and “edgy” use of traditional entheogens with their occasionally messy side effects may not appeal even to self-described Witches. Thus, for all the claims made of connections with the victims of the “Burning Times,” the majority of contemporary Witches and other Pagans have chosen to turn their backs on what may indeed be the one connection with an earlier era of shamanic practice — traditional Eurasian entheogens
